BME: Body Modification Ezine

A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

  • Stretched Earlobe “Corrective” Surgery

    Written by

    Shannon Larratt

    A long time ago when BME was only a few years old, my grandmother offered me a big pile of money to have my earlobes surgically reversed… I needed the money so I initially agreed, but backed out at the last moment and thankfully still have my ears.

    I’m seeing more and more earlobe stretching reversals these days, some amateur and some by a doctor. Mike’s, shown below, is one of the biggest reversals that I know of, going from a full (and very healthy looking) three inches down to nothing at all!

    Anyway, I’m taking the weekend off from writing [here], so check back on Monday for more posts, and I do expect to update BME once or twice over the weekend. Keep on sending in pictures!

    You know what surprises me most about this entry? The fact that I’ve seen this particular physical anomaly (fused toes or webbed toes) pierced three times in the last few years — I guess it’s far more common than one might assume. This one is by Sean Phillips at Marlowe Ink on IAM:juggalowes.

    Oh, I torture myself by posting picture after picture after picture of interesting pretty people in this blog and on BME, while I sit up in this tower all by myself… Click below to reveal the full photos: on the left is a shot of Ricki by Jim Skipper, and on the right is Crys (who has her own site over at dungeonofcrys.com) showing us her labial piercings.

    Oh, this tattoo is just too clever for its own good. I wonder how many people will ask “why do you have ‘sandwich’ tattooed on your knuckles” before they clue in to the pun? Thanks to Shawn for sending in his tattoo by Dwaine at Sinners and Saints in Fells Point, Maryland.
